The Eurozone is a group of independent nation states that voluntarily become part of the Eurozone to be able to enjoy the benefits of a larger whole. The countries retain their independence but agree to a set of rules, regulations and policies and implement these to become a member state. The euro is the common currency used by a bloc of nations within the European Union. There are 18 countries that use the euro - including Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

Yanis Varoufakis

Yanis Varoufakis (Greek:Ιωάννης "Γιάνης" Βαρουφάκης,pronounced[ˈʝanis varuˈfacis]; born 24 March 1961) is an academic economist who was a member of the Greek parliament between January and September 2015. He represented the ruling Syriza party and held the position of Minister of Finance for seven months. He voted against the terms of the third bailout package for Greece. In December 2015 he announced plans to launch a pan-European movement the following February.

Varoufakis is a participant in the current debates on the global and European crisis, the author of The Global Minotaur and several academic texts on economics and game theory, Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens and a private consultant for Valve Corporation. He is a dual Greek-Australian citizen and describes himself as a 'libertarian Marxist': "In truth, Karl Marx was responsible for framing my perspective of the world we live in, from my childhood to this day. It is not something that I volunteer to talk about in 'polite society' much these days because the very mention of the M-word switches audiences off."

No country in Europe has been hit harder by the 2008 global economic crisis and subsequent downturn than Greece. After years of polarizing austerity measures and fears of a Greek exit from the Eurozone, the country is slowly emerging from an extended period of economic instability. The Greek recovery, however, is far from over. Yanis Varoufakis served as Greek finance minister from January through July 2015 and opposed the EU’s third and final bailout agreement for Greece. He will discuss how the Greek economy is faring today and how the Eurozone crisis affected the rest of the global economy. What lessons have been learned about the risks and benefits of a shared economic system? How can we protect those most vulnerable to economic shocks from another economic crisis?
Speaker Yanis Varoufakis is Former Greek Finance Minister, and Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Athens.

The Fundamental Design Flaw of the Eurozone

From the very start, the European Monetary Union (EMU) was set up to fail. The host of problems we are now witnessing, from the solvency crises on the periphery to the bank runs in Spain, Greece, and Italy, were built into the very structure of the EMU and its banking system. Policymakers have admittedly responded to these various emergencies with an uninspiring mix of delaying tactics and self-destructive policy blunders, but the most fundamental mistake of all occurred well before the buildup to the current crisis. What we are witnessing today are the results of a design flaw. When individual nations like Greece or Italy joined the EMU, they essentially adopted a foreign currency—the euro—but retained responsibility for their nation’s fiscal policy. This attempted separation of fiscal policy from a sovereign currency is the fatal defect that is tearing the Eurozone apart.
As a lecturer in economic policy at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria, Italy, Alberto Botta comes from a region which in many ways represents "ground zero" of the Eurozone's fatal flaw. When the common currency was introduced, there was an implicit assumption that the longer Europe's disparate economic regions were yoked under a common monetary policy, the greater would be the degree of economic convergence. In fact, nothing of the sort has occurred. A region like Reggio Calabria has remained one of the most depressed in the entire Eurozone, largely because of the absence of targeted fiscal policies to address pre-existing regional disparities. And these disparaties have been exacerbated through the misconceived embrace of fiscal austerity. Botta's work challenges the theoretical assumptions underlying the theory of "fiscal austerity expansions", and offers an alternative growth policy to help the EU out of its current policy cul de sac.

“The zloty fulfilled its goal in the time of that crisis but should there be another earthquake around Poland, being outside the Eurozone would be particularly dangerous for the country, its inhabitants and economy. Should we have another typhoon in Europe, similar to the one after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, we wouldn’t be able to survive even though we are part of the European Union because we’re not in the Eurozone,” says Janusz Piechociński, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.
Despite that pressure, no date has been scheduled yet. Before Poland is able to join the Eurozone, the Parliament needs to amend the country’s Constitution.
After Lithuania joins the Eurozone in January 2015, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary will remain the economies which joined the European Union in 2004 and still use their national currencies.

Since the financial crash, the future of the Euro has been in doubt. Propping it up has come at a heavy cost – with the imposition of harsh austerity measures, and in Greece and Italy, with the replacement of elected governments with technocrats. Is the Euro compatible with democracy? Can the Eurozone survive without the kind of economic and political integration for which there is no appetite among the people of Europe? Or will the Eurozone simply muddle through?
The speakers are Christian May, editor of City A.M.; Keith Pilbeam, professor of economics at City, University of London; Bruno Waterfield, Brussels correspondent for The Times. The chair is Phil Mullan, author of Creative Destruction: How to start an economic renaissance.

No country in Europe has been hit harder by the 2008 global economic crisis and subsequent downturn than Greece. After years of polarizing austerity measures and fears of a Greek exit from the Eurozone, the country is slowly emerging from an extended period of economic instability. The Greek recovery, however, is far from over. Yanis Varoufakis served as Greek finance minister from January through July 2015 and opposed the EU’s third and final bailout agreement for Greece. He will discuss how the Greek economy is faring today and how the Eurozone crisis affected the rest of the global economy. What lessons have been learned about the risks and benefits of a shared economic system? How can we protect those most vulnerable to economic shocks from another economic crisis?
Speaker Yanis Varoufakis is Former Greek Finance Minister, and Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Athens.

From the very start, the European Monetary Union (EMU) was set up to fail. The host of problems we are now witnessing, from the solvency crises on the periphery to the bank runs in Spain, Greece, and Italy, were built into the very structure of the EMU and its banking system. Policymakers have admittedly responded to these various emergencies with an uninspiring mix of delaying tactics and self-destructive policy blunders, but the most fundamental mistake of all occurred well before the buildup to the current crisis. What we are witnessing today are the results of a design flaw. When individual nations like Greece or Italy joined the EMU, they essentially adopted a foreign currency—the euro—but retained responsibility for their nation’s fiscal policy. This attempted separation of fiscal policy from a sovereign currency is the fatal defect that is tearing the Eurozone apart.
As a lecturer in economic policy at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria, Italy, Alberto Botta comes from a region which in many ways represents "ground zero" of the Eurozone's fatal flaw. When the common currency was introduced, there was an implicit assumption that the longer Europe's disparate economic regions were yoked under a common monetary policy, the greater would be the degree of economic convergence. In fact, nothing of the sort has occurred. A region like Reggio Calabria has remained one of the most depressed in the entire Eurozone, largely because of the absence of targeted fiscal policies to address pre-existing regional disparities. And these disparaties have been exacerbated through the misconceived embrace of fiscal austerity. Botta's work challenges the theoretical assumptions underlying the theory of "fiscal austerity expansions", and offers an alternative growth policy to help the EU out of its current policy cul de sac.

“The zloty fulfilled its goal in the time of that crisis but should there be another earthquake around Poland, being outside the Eurozone would be particularly dangerous for the country, its inhabitants and economy. Should we have another typhoon in Europe, similar to the one after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, we wouldn’t be able to survive even though we are part of the European Union because we’re not in the Eurozone,” says Janusz Piechociński, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.
Despite that pressure, no date has been scheduled yet. Before Poland is able to join the Eurozone, the Parliament needs to amend the country’s Constitution.
After Lithuania joins the Eurozone in January 2015, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary will remain the economies which joined the European Union in 2004 and still use their national currencies.

No country in Europe has been hit harder by the 2008 global economic crisis and subsequent downturn than Greece. After years of polarizing austerity measures and fears of a Greek exit from the Eurozone, the country is slowly emerging from an extended period of economic instability. The Greek recovery, however, is far from over. Yanis Varoufakis served as Greek finance minister from January through July 2015 and opposed the EU’s third and final bailout agreement for Greece. He will discuss how the Greek economy is faring today and how the Eurozone crisis affected the rest of the global economy. What lessons have been learned about the risks and benefits of a shared economic system? How can we protect those most vulnerable to economic shocks from another economic crisis?
Speaker Yanis Varoufakis is Former Greek Finance Minister, and Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Athens.

So, what is next for Greece and its main creditor, the Eurozone?
